Domestic water grants - regular

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service awarded a $1,050,000 Project Grant to the City of Kasaan, Alaska under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The funding will support domestic water infrastructure projects in the rural Alaska community to ensure reasonable user costs for residents, businesses, and other local users. This program provides financial assistance to construct, upgrade, or repair drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, and other critical water and waste disposal infrastructure in financially needy rural areas. The City of Kasaan has also received a $65,000 Project Grant from the Rural Utilities Service in November 2022 for a water infrastructure planning and development project, as well as a sub-grant from the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs likely related to emergency management or homeland security.
